World Book Day 2019 Theme, Essay, Celebration Ideas, Activities

Introduction

World Book Day is a celebration of books, authors, and illustrators but most importantly it is the celebration of reading. This day is celebrated on 23rd April every year, which is organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote reading, publishing, and copyright. In the UK, this day is celebrated on first Thursday of the month of March. The World Book Day was first celebrated on 23rd April 1995.

The date for World Book Day is 23rd April because it is a date for world literature. Cervantes, Shakespeare, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega died on this date in 1616. Many other prominent authors, such as Maurice Druon, Haldor K Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla, and Mejia Vallejo were born or died on this date.

What is reading? You may think that I am sounding foolish but I feel many of us don’t know the meaning of reading. Reading is an exercise for our mind. It is feeling that makes a person alive, think, feel lost in that book or may find out self. Reading gives us information on which we can think and make it known. You have not read a good book yet if you do not like reading. It is the most scaring thing for me if a person says that he/she does not read. Not reading means not thinking, not laughing, and not living. Some people read for their interest, some for their assigned task or some forgetting that feeling of being alive.

A book is a medium that delivers the information from one place or mind to another. It is a gift that one can open again and again. People feel lost at times and try to find out their stories in books. Reading makes a person feel, think and experience things.

A person can travel miles away by sitting on a chair with reading a book. Books have the capability to teach you, to guide you, to make you laugh. Humans have got a great gift that we can read. If a person feels that there is no book like that he/she wants to read then the person must write that book. There are no limitations in reading and writing; it will always help someone somewhere.
